The winner of the game is the winner of the race, irrespective of who has the most money.

The full game is divided into 3 stages;

Stage 1 is the auctioning and leasing of horses, when players bid for their choice.

Stage 2 is the training and preparation of the horses for the race. Horses which may be seen as outsiders during bidding, may improve their value during training and vice versa.

Stage 3 involves the race itself, once betting has taken place.

An excellent example of a Waddington’s game that incorporates strategy, luck, excitement and competition. Useful to have longer and shorter game options. There is a vertical stripe down the box and lid in this edition. The pages within the game board are made of fine quality heavyweight paper. Later editions of the game continued to use cardboard horses, sometimes referred to as austerity sets due to a shortage of metal during WW2.
